Our nation's health care system is more than broken. It's lethal. If a foreign country had killed as many Americans as our health care system, we'd have long since invaded it, toppled its government and created a new quagmire for ourselves. Just in terms of personal financial disasters, health care is a major league disaster. If you don't believe me, take a look at these numbers.
And every time I mention something about this, I get an e-mail from someone who says, "Would you really want the government making decisions about folks' health care?" The answer to that question is yes. They couldn't do a worse job of it than the people doing it now, who are all insurance companies trying to beat the previous quarter's profit margin.
